Instructions
Creating Garlic Butter Chicken Bites with Creamy Pasta is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Prepare the Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
4. Make the Cream Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Allow it to reduce slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Add Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until you have a smooth sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
6. Combine: Add the cooked pasta and chicken into the creamy sauce, stirring until everything is well coated.
7. Garnish: Remove from the heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley for an appealing touch.
8. Serve Immediately: This dish is best served hot for the ultimate flavor experience.
